Kitchen Extract Cleaning in Cock Street
TR19 grease cleaning of complete kitchen extract systems, from canopy to discharge for commercial sites in Cock Street and across Essex. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Rancid smells from grease in the duct
- An overdue clean flagged by an EHO or fire officer
- Cleaning needed before an insurance renewal or survey
What we’re called out for in Cock Street
Grease in the extract matters because it burns. A flare-up on the range can be drawn up into the canopy and duct, where burning grease can carry a fire along the ducts and into other parts of the building. For a kitchen in Cock Street, keeping that fuel under control is part of the fire risk assessment.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A kitchen with no current TR19 certificate
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A new tenancy or takeover with no cleaning history
- Proof of cleaning requested by an insurer
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Matthew's Church or elsewhere in Cock Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
About our kitchen extract cleaning in Cock Street
Think of it as a health check for the kitchen’s airways: survey first, clean second, sign-off last. That clean bill of health comes as a TR19 certificate and a photo report, issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and a TR19 certificate needed for the insurer, we can put it right. Kitchens in Cock Street book us for TR19 cleaning for three reasons: the insurer asked, the EHO asked, or the canopy is dripping. Either way, the answer is the same: a proper clean and the paperwork to match.
Each job starts with a look at where grease has built up: grease readings at set points tell us where the heaviest deposits are, and readings afterwards go into your report.
In a small place like Cock Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What the work involves, part by part
Ductwork and risers
Horizontal runs collect grease as the air slows and cools. We open access panels along the route and clean each section, recording any that cannot be reached.
Extract fan and discharge
The fan pulls the air through the whole system, and grease that gets past everything else ends up on its blades. It’s isolated, opened and cleaned as part of the TR19 clean.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Flag any change in how the extract sounds or works
- Run the extract fan throughout cooking
- Empty any grease troughs or cups on the canopy
- Make sure every filter is fitted before cooking
The certificate records when the clean was done, where and by whom. Keep it in the maintenance log with your fire risk assessment so it’s ready when anyone asks to see it.
Stick to the cleaning interval on the certificate. If the kitchen starts cooking longer hours, the interval should be looked at again, and grease readings will show it.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

How much does kitchen extract cleaning cost?

Can you price the work without visiting?
Yes, where the photos show enough. Otherwise, we book a survey at a time that suits the site, and the quote follows that.

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Will I get a certificate after the clean?
Yes, a TR19 certificate, along with a photo report. It records what was cleaned, what wasn’t accessible and the recommended next clean date.
Kitchen extracts in Cock Street
It’s Babergh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Cock Street. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Cock Street is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Severalls Hospital about 5.3 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for a small kitchen, longer for a large system. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Cock Street run smoothly.
- Diagnosis comes first, with a survey of the system and how it’s reached.
- Grease readings set the baseline, and a fixed quote follows.
- After the kitchen closes, we sheet the area and set up to contain grease and water.
- The treatment: heavy grease scraped out, then every part degreased to TR19® Grease.
- Then the clean bill of health: readings, a TR19 certificate and a photo report with the next date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
